Tasmania lies at about 41 degrees south, exposed to weather from the Tasman Sea, Bass Strait and Indian Ocean. Wind, rain, storms, frost and fungal disease make sheltered vineyard sites valuable. Dolerite-capped mountains provide shelter in parts of the island. Pinot Noir is used for red and sparkling wines, and Chardonnay for whites with fresh acidity and for sparkling wine. Riesling comes in sparkling, dry and sweet styles. Sparkling wine accounted for 38 percent of production in the 2024 vintage, with styles ranging from dry and fruity to richer examples. Tasmania is a protected regional wine name on labels.
